The 5 Transport Points by Dr Wei Chieh Young (English)
£82.00
Classical Theory · Clinical Application
Michael Helme
The five transport points — jing, ying, shu, jing and he — are among the most clinically significant points in classical acupuncture, found along each of the twelve meridian channels. Understanding them fully means understanding not just their locations but their theoretical underpinning: the five phases, qi movement, seasonal and hourly correspondences, and the principles that govern when and why each category of point is selected.
The 5 Transport Points: Clinical Application and Personal Insights by Dr Wei-Chieh Young is the most comprehensive English-language study of this subject available. At 430 pages, it moves from foundational theory through to advanced clinical application — drawing on Dr Young’s decades of practice and scholarship to produce a text that is as much about the depth of classical thought as it is about point selection in practice.
